Question:
Besides TCP/80, are there any other ports required to be open when accessing Helpdesk through a firewall?
Answer:
In addition to TCP/80, the application may require:
- Secure HTTP: if you install a TLS/SSL certificate, it will use TCP/443 or whatever port you configure for secure connections.
- Email: the application checks email, so whitelist your mail ports (the ports used by your mail server).
- Database: when hosted locally, the application connects to your SQL Server to exchange data.
- Both of these are outbound connections, so opening any ports is not required.
Those are the only ports the application requires.
